No chance of that happening this side of the pond. That was one lucky fella!

Buy plastic junk guns and expect to get hurt down the road. My feelings on the matter is if you can't afford a quality gun don't buy anything until you can get something you can pass down to another generation. They will appreciate your Kimber as much as you do now. They never fail and you can stake your life on it.
So much fail. So much....
I may be wrong but I don't think that damage to that gun is due to shooting led bullets, seems to me there is an error some place else that nobody wants to admit. I would think (well it don't matter what I think ) just glad nobody got hurt. I mean if it blew the case apart where it was unsupported maybe a case failure, really hot round I don't know. But if you shoot long enough things like this may happen just like driving in a car you never know when you are going to get in a crash.
Notice that one responder claims to have seen this hundreds of thousands of times! He also says he never exaggerates. Oi-Vay
H377, any pistol can be made to lead with high pressure hard cast ill fitting boolits with crappy lube; does not have to be a Glock. And the reciprocal is that Glocks with poly barrels don't have to be lead prone.

I would lean towards a powder charge gone wrong....
Or a a split case mouth that let the boolit slip way back in the case upon feeding.Originally Posted by HATCH

If you are mentally retarded, then YES!! You can cause a Glock to kaboom.
If you can read, have solid comprehension skills, have critical thinking skills, and use the scientific method then you will be merrily shooting cast in your Glocks with nary an issue. Reloading, and even shooting, just isn't for everybody.

any gun can kaboom. don't fool yourself into believing otherwise.
I would submit this is true with human errors in reloading but I would also submit, the Glock is a helluva great pistol but.... and this is my bias... if I had a pistol Ka Boom, a steel one is less likely to hurt me than a plastic one. Just saying...nothing against polymere framed pistols , they have good track records.
If nothing else, the threads of lead bullets in Glocks or H&K stimulate thinking.

You can't shoot lead in a rifle, It'll make the moon crash into the sun.

^^^This post has as much fail as the guys whom gun kaboomed. Glock "Junk", Kimber "quality". LOL
I would bet money cast boolits had nothing to do with the kaboom. Probably the guy that loaded the rounds.

Well said again...
As one who has had a "Kabooommmm..." in his past - it most likely "AINT" the gun or bullets: powder or casing.

To each his own, but I believe in mfg disclaimers! Never had a hankering for a glock!

As much as I dislike plastic guns there's gotta be something else is amiss. Sounds like an improperly fit boolit and poor cleaning practices. If it's the rifling how is it that Shillen, Kreiger, et. al can make the 5r/ratchet rifling and have success shooting...just sayin

did he say the powder used? generally it is a new person using economical powders that is starting to speed up the process and accidentally double charges. i shoot lead out of the glock factory barrel in .40 all the time. i select powders that fill the case to my oal.
generally it pans out to being something like tightgroup or similar fast burn that had a overcharge that still didn't even come close to filling the case.
800x may meter poorly, but if you overcharge it the case will be overflowing.
glocks get more kabooms because there are a **** ton of them out there compared to steel frames and polymers in general appeal more to people just getting started as they have been historically so much more affordable.
correlation =/= causation.
A case head failure due to an unsupported case head is as likely as anything.
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
